This is a concept of a facade created in Generative Components. It responds to a collection of control points. The facade acts as a shutter composed of multiple strips. Each strip could twist independently of the others.
The change of the facade is a function of the distance to the control points. The facade is getting “open” when there is a control point near by.
In a real scenario the control points could be windows, while the facade could act as a thin layer in front of the skeleton of the building.
Each strip reacts individually, while creating an effect of movement in the whole facade.
Feel free to comment 🙂
Note: The zip file contains three .gct files. You should load the MCRotatingSegment & MCSplineRotatingBand assemblies, first! The MCSplineRotatingShutter contains the final result.
very nice! can you post gct-file? Best Regards ivo
Hi Ivo,
we’ll post the gct file asap
Stay tuned!

Hello
I was wondering how could I get this into Rhino Grasshopper? Is it possibel at all?
Best regards

If not anyone who knows how to set it up in Grasshopper…?
Best regards

Hi JJ,
It is possible to achieve that result in GH for sure.
The process would be pretty much the same as it is in GC.
One possible solution would be to:
– Create some curves(the levels of the building).
– Create frames on these curves.
– Use the frames to create local lines which could twist according to the control points.
– Loft the local lines to create the surface.

hello i would like to download the code but the links are dead.
Is there any possibility to access them?
Hi I like download the code too but the link shows up as an error.
